Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium (Arabic: المجمع الرياضي الأمير مولاي عبد الله) was a multi-purpose stadiuminRabat, Morocco. It was named after Prince Moulay Abdellah of Morocco, It was the home of AS FAR since their formation in 1983.

History[edit]

It was built in 1983 and was the home ground of AS FAR. It was used mostly for football matches. It also staged athletics. The stadium had a capacity of 50,000 people.[1]

From 2008 to 2023, it hosted the Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. It was a confirmed venue for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations until Morocco was stripped of its hosting rights. Morocco asked for the Africa Cup of Nations to be postponed because of fear of the Ebola pandemic that was affecting several African countries at the time. The country was then ruled out as a host of the international competition.

The Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium was also a venue for the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup.

It was also used as the opening and closing ceremony venue for the 2019 African Games after Malabo, Equatorial Guinea withdrew its rights to host the African Games.

A new stadium is currently under construction on the same site and will be one of the venues for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after Guinea was stripped of its hosting rights. The new venue is also planned to be one of the host stadiums for the 2030 FIFA World Cup which Morocco will co-host along with Portugal and Spain.
